Comment Power to weight ratio (Score 4, Informative) 167

to put 8 kW/kg into perspective, all commercial brushless dc motors are at 4 kW/kg and it is a limitation of the materials used.

Commercial internal combustion engines range from 1 kW/kg to *maybe* 3 kW/kg if it is turbocharged to the point of sacrificing engine longevity and formula 1 engines are at around 5 kW/kg

although i suspect they saved weight by using the vehicle frame as (part of?) the stator, a perk of making a motor for a very specific purpose.

going off on a tangent, whoever is responsible for android's ui needs to be tortured.

no clear indication of accepted taps, no indication the device is busy, no way to distinguish interactive elements from eyecandy, menus needlessly hidden even on huge devices, pointless separation of menus (eg: why are there two menus with different styles in youtube?), elements abruptly changing location whilst being active (you tap somewhere but at the last fraction of a second, the list refreshes without warning and now you must guess what you've tapped), message windows pop up just before you tap something completely unrelated but since you've already tapped the window disappears and now you will never know what it said, i could go on.

my 1997 hp48gx has immeasurably better engineered UI.

*tortured* i say.
